Omg, I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend has gone out on a work do. I kept hearing a pinging coming from his office so I went in to mute whatever device it was and it was his iPad. Went to mute it and saw the message ‘can’t wait babe’ on the home screen. Obviously I opened it and have now found hundreds of messages between him and another girl. No idea who she is. Haven’t even looked into that yet. Just read the messages. He says he loves her. I have an 8 month old baby I feel sick please what shall I do from here? He’s just text me saying he misses me and I can see on the iPad he’s text her saying he misses her

Hi OP, how are you?

DorisDances · 03/04/2020 21:07

Just read the whole thread. Very inspiring and your handling of the situation has been incredible. Hope your pregnancy is going well. Your mum rocks!

iamtherealitycheck · 03/04/2020 21:43

Just read this thread through and what an amazing dignified lady you are.
I'm wondering how you are and I hope you are well?

Beebeezed · 22/12/2020 20:39

Hi all!
Sorry I know this is totally out of the online and you’ve all probably forgotten about this but I thought i would send an update incase anyone ever goes through a similar situation.

I am great.

I got there.

It gets better!!

It was awful, I had some dark times and at times I thought I would never move on but now the dust has settled and I’m honestly happier than I was before. I ended up living with my ex and his girlfriend that he cheated on me with (yep. Really) due to covid and childcare etc etc and we’ve actually come out of it friends. If anyone reading this is in a similar situation please feel free to contact me because I can honestly say I’ve got through it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that supported me with your messages whilst I was at my lowest. I will never be able to thank you enough. Mumsnet is a very supportive place!!

@Beebeezed I read through your whole thread at the time and felt heartbroken for you, but I was so impressed with your resilience. It's been a rough year but I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. Wishing you a merry christmas Xmas Smile

Pollypocket21 · 22/12/2020 22:25

Well done. You are a very dignified lady and you should be proud of everything you have done!

ohwhatamiserableyear · 22/12/2020 22:53

Wow! wouldn't have expected that to have happened!

Imagine you have 2 little ones now; I hope you are all healthy and happy.

Minky37 · 22/12/2020 23:02

Wow I remember your thread!
Well done and not sure how you managed to live with ex & girlfriend- you must be an extremely strong person!

44PumpLane · 22/12/2020 23:12

Wow now there's an update Noone would expect! How come you ended up living with your ex and the ow/his new Gf?

I'm not sure if I think you're mad or amazing.... But as long as you're happy then that's all that's important. X

2020iscancelled · 22/12/2020 23:16

I remember your thread this time last year and I remember telling my DP about it as well.

So pleased you are doing well and have moved on, I’ve been in a somewhat similar situation many moons ago and know that it can be very very tough.

You’re an inspiration. You deserve all the happiness, wishing you all the best things Grin

innercitysumo · 22/12/2020 23:32

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 23/12/2020 00:03

Wow there's an update no one was expecting.

Well as long as it really does work for you, good luck to you.

AliceMcK · 23/12/2020 00:03

Never mind about being embarrassed, reach out to someone close you can trust and who can comfort you x

If it was me (I’m a hard faced bitch) I’d send him screenshot after screen shot of all his conversations with her, don’t say anything else then turn my phone off and lock the doors so he can’t get in tonight. Try and sleep as best I can then tackle it in the morning when you’ve had time to think.

Mallysmomma · 23/12/2020 00:03

You have all the information you need. You have two choices; 1/ leave the b***d (I vote this one)
Or 2/ accept that he will always cheat on you and let him get on with it!

AliceMcK · 23/12/2020 00:05

Wow I think I’ve missed a lot, need to go through and re-read this thread...

TreadLightly3 · 23/12/2020 00:17

Congratulations OP!! You are a true inspiration! Xx

VenusTiger · 23/12/2020 00:20
